MPCW Ch. 16

Alexei's brain was still trying to process what Qingxue had just said.

Would you like family? I could be your older sister.

She'd said it so earnestly. Like offering to become someone's family was just a normal thing to do. Like they'd known each other for years instead of minutes.

Qingxue's fox ears twitched. Her head tilted slightly. "What... the fuck?"

She repeated the phrase slowly. Her pronunciation was nearly perfect, but something about the way she said...

Note 12/19/25

I have a lot of ongoing projects, and the deadlines are getting closer and closer. That means I can't always release chapters as regularly as usual. I'll work on the missing NYP chapters tomorrow. I'll work on MPCW as well. I'm also going to start picking up Arcane again, I've got the motivation for it back.

PIG V2 Ch. 13

The iron gates of Falcone Manor opened slowly before the armored vehicle. Marco leaned forward in the passenger seat, surveying the courtyard through the reinforced windshield, and immediately knew something was wrong.

The number of guards had at least doubled since his last visit, maybe even tripled. They were everywhere.

"A few more visits like this and I should qualify for some kind of loyalty program," he muttered, then immediately regretted the joke when his bruised ribs prot...

PIG V2 Ch. 12

The East End precinct lobby was a circus.

Marco pushed through the front doors, still moving carefully because of his bruised ribs, and immediately spotted the source of the commotion. A well-dressed man in his forties was gesticulating wildly at the front desk, speaking rapid-fire French that was getting louder with every sentence. The desk officer was responding in equally loud English, neither man understanding the other, both convinced volume would somehow bridge the language gap. A...

PIG V2 Ch. 11

Outside the car window, Gotham's night had reached that deepest darkness that comes just before dawn. Marco slouched in the passenger seat, one hand pressed to his bruised ribs. Every pothole and sharp turn sent a fresh spike of pain through his side. He pulled out his phone, thumb hovering over Bob's contact for a long moment. The chief would be asleep.

Fuck it.

He hit dial.

The phone rang. And rang. And rang some more. He was about to hang up when the line finally clicked ...

PIG V2 Ch. 10

"Come on, come on..."

Gordon's hands gripped the steering wheel. His eyes burned holes through the windshield, locked on the road ahead. In the passenger seat, Marco clutched his injured side. The convoy tore through the old district, sirens wailing, red and blue lights painting the buildings in strobing colors. As they turned onto the main boulevard leading to GCPD headquarters, Marco caught the first glimpse of fire reflected against the low-hanging clouds.

"There," he said.

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 392

Boom!

A tremor came from underfoot. Faramir quickly looked toward the city gate. A group of giant beasts was lumbering forward, carrying an enormous battering ram. At its front was a wolf's head, its eyes burning with fire. The moment it appeared, it slammed straight into the gate. With almost no effort, the massive doors bent inward. It wasn't just the gate. By the look of it, even the city wall might crack if struck by that thing.

He felt numb.

"Go to the gate! Pr...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 391

The harbor was filled with the wreckage of ships, so dense one could almost walk across it. The fleet from the City of Waters had annihilated the sea of pirates and their proud black ships in an outrageously violent manner.

Not one remained.

The dark clouds dispersed. Flames and smoke slowly faded. Sunlight returned to the land.

A massive flagship pushed aside the drifting debris and slowly approached the shore. Following behind was a black ship, captured by Aragorn and his ...

LOTR: TMCP Ch. 390

A vast shadow swept across the sea. In the southern bay of Lebennin, a massive fleet of ships was sailing past.

Their hulls were pitch-black, their sails enormous, painted with either crimson eye insignias or star-shaped emblems, marks of the Haradrim and the rebels who had broken away from Gondor a thousand years ago.

The overwhelming sight of the fleet terrified the local fishermen. They fled in panic, abandoning their shabby homes and not stopping to remain by the coast.

MCIM Ch. 129

The screech of tearing metal echoed through the night as Mario ripped the crushed patrol car apart. The two unconscious officers inside were exposed to the open air. The driver had been lucky, if you could call it that. A single bullet to the forehead, death instant and painless. The passenger wasn't so fortunate, his face was covered in blood, his nose completely flattened from the impact with the dashboard.

The officer holding the handgun stared in silence as Mario dragged his colleag...

MCIM Ch. 128

"Who are you?"

Bruce stood in the doorway of his office, studying the young man sitting at his desk. The intruder wore jeans and a hoodie, nothing remarkable about his appearance. But the fact that he'd managed to infiltrate Wayne Enterprises' executive floor without triggering a single alarm? That was very remarkable indeed.

Mario set down his food and grabbed a napkin, wiping his mouth. "Mr. Wayne, do you know what time it is? Two in the afternoon. I've been waiting since eight ...

MCIM Ch. 127

"Mario."

Erik looked up from his workstation as Mario approached with Darcy in tow. Relief and happiness washed over his features. He set down his pen and stood, the tension that had been coiled in his shoulders finally releasing.

"Darcy, welcome to the company. I promise this is the best decision you'll ever make."

Darcy nodded and pulled Erik into a quick hug. "Thank you, Dr. Selvig."

Mario watched the reunion. Being able to help his people felt good. Really good. 2025-12-19 20:28:56 +0000 UTC View Post

OP: AMP Ch. 200

BOOM. BOOM. BOOM.

The Goatman pounded against the glass barrier. Every strike sent ripples across the floor, scattering papers and making the strange pinkish-purple flames in the corner surge. The shockwaves were powerful enough that loose equipment rattled on tables, and cracks appeared in the concrete floor itself.

Yet the glass stood completely firm.

"Hmm... if we're using the Marine's Doriki system as a baseline, I'd estimate that's around seven hundred Doriki r...

OP: AMP Ch. 199

Looking back at how Luffy had assembled his crew, every single member had come aboard after overcoming some kind of obstacle or crisis.

Zoro had been rescued from an execution ground where he'd been tied up for days without food or water.

Nami came next, though at the time she'd had no intention of becoming a pirate. She just wanted free passage and maybe to steal some treasure along the way. It wasn't until the showdown with the Arlong Pirates that she'd truly joined the Straw Ha...

OP: AMP Ch. 198

Above the White Sea, the night sky showed no stars, just thicker layers of white clouds stacked upon each other. Still, moonlight managed to filter through the gaps between cloud layers, but it was dim.

Inside that house, every member of the Straw Hat crew had crashed hard. The Minecraft beds they'd regained after losing them had quickly become everyone's favorite piece of equipment. Those beds were addictive. When night came, the crew practically teleported to their beds. If Marcus had...

NYP Ch. 87

Kenji walked to the corner of the cave where two unconscious Kiri ninjas lay bound and gagged. They were members of the squad that had been pursuing Kakashi and Rin. His Transparent Release puppet had captured them during the chaos, dragging them back here while everyone else was distracted. He examined them briefly, then selected the one who looked stronger. He knelt down and released the consciousness seal keeping the ninja unconscious, but before the man could fully wake, his hands were al...

MPCW Ch. 15

Alexei sneezed.

"Achoo!"

He rubbed his nose, trying to dislodge whatever had irritated it. A strand of hair had gotten sucked into his nostril, his own hair, annoyingly, and was making everything itch.

"Stupid long hair," he muttered, pushing it back. "I should've cut this days ago."

The mooshroom mooed sympathetically from its corner.

"Don't start with me, Bessie. At least your hair is useful. Mine just gets in the way."

He was about to cast his line again...

MPCW Ch. 14

The elder's thoughts spun rapidly.

He couldn't afford hesitation. Through the threadbare connection still linking him to the Grey Mist, he gritted his teeth, metaphorically, since the mist had no teeth, and forced another portion of his spirit into the damaged construct.

Pain exploded through him. His body, hundreds of kilometers away in its hidden cave, broke out in cold sweat. His breathing became labored, his heartbeat irregular.

He looked like death warmed over. Which, g...

NYP Ch. 86

Here it comes.

Hidden in the treetops, the Sharingan Puppet pushed its sensory abilities to its limit. The three tomoe in its eyes spun rapidly as it locked onto Obito's body, tracking every minute fluctuation in chakra flow.

Back in Konoha, kilometers away, the recording puppet he'd left behind operated at maximum capacity. Its mechanisms worked frantically to transcribe the chakra wave patterns and energy conversion processes occurring inside Obito onto a prepared scrol...

NYP Ch. 85

The Transparent Release puppet sat motionless in the treetops, its form completely invisible as it stared down at the forest floor below. Kakashi moved through the underbrush, following several summoned ninja hounds as they tracked toward the Kiri outpost.

Kenji had been watching Kakashi and Rin constantly since arriving at the eastern front. He knew better than anyone that Madara wouldn't give them much time. The old Uchiha's body was failing, sustained only by the Gedo Statue. He'd pu...

NYP Ch. 84

Kenji and Honoka didn't get back home until evening. After putting away everything they'd bought during the day, Kenji took a bath and collapsed onto his bed.

He'd just started to drift off when a knock came from the door.

He got up and opened it to find Honoka standing there. Her expression was serious.

"Something wrong?"

"Can we talk?" She didn't wait for an answer, just walked past him into the room.

Kenji closed the door and turned to face her. That tone mean...

NYP Ch. 83

In Sage Mode, Kenji could clearly sense the surge of vitality flowing through every cell in his body. Even his Wood Release chakra, which normally lay dormant unless actively channeled, had become noticeably more active and responsive. The enhanced cellular activity was remarkable.

It reminded him of Hashirama's legendary regenerative abilities.

According to historical records, even Madara had admitted that no one on the battlefield could truly kill Hashirama. The man's healing fa...

NYP Ch. 82

Seeing Hazuki clutching the puppet and sobbing uncontrollably, Kenji exchanged a helpless glance with Honoka. His friend quietly squeezed his hand and leaned closer to whisper.

"Don't worry. She's been through so much. This is exactly what she needs."

Honoka understood the situation completely. The puppet was being controlled by one of Kenji's mind clones, technically an extension of his consciousness. But right now, it was serving as the closest thing Hazuki had to her brother's ...

NYP Ch. 81

The Uchiha district felt different from the rest of Konoha. It wasn't just the architecture, though that was distinctive enough. Every building bore the clan's fan-shaped crest somewhere visible, painted on walls or embroidered on door curtains. The symbol marked territory as clearly as any border fence. Even the people walking through the streets wore the crest on their clothing, stitched into collars or sleeves, making them instantly identifiable as clan members.

The message was clear...

NYP Ch. 80

The Kannabi Bridge mission... This was the mission where everything changed. Where Obito would awaken his Sharingan, and set in motion events that would reshape the entire shinobi world. Where Kakashi would become "Copy Ninja Kakashi" by receiving his teammate's eye.

"That explains why I haven't sensed Kushina practicing with the Nine-Tails chakra lately," he said aloud.

The Wood Release puppet he'd created for her training maintained a spiritual connection to him. Whenever she su...

NYP Ch. 79

"What do you want?" Rasa forced the words out through gritted teeth, fighting against the pain in his chest. "If you're looking for me to betray the village, forget it. Just kill me and get it over with."

Pride wouldn't let him show weakness. He was the Fourth Kazekage. He'd die before he betrayed Suna.

"I have zero interest in making you betray anyone. I just want to make a trade."

"A trade?"

Rasa's tense muscles loosened slightly. If there was room for negotiation, t...

NYP Ch. 78

Kenji walked over to where the iron sand had trapped Rasa moments before. The ground was torn apart, a crater nearly three meters wide gouged into the earth where Chiyo's explosive tag had detonated. Scattered around the crater's rim were tiny fragments of gold-tinted sand and several dark droplets of blood.

Chiyo had used her Sealing Technique: Lion Closing Roar to pin down his puppet just long enough to detonate an explosive tag beneath Rasa. The blast had shattered the iron sand rest...

NYP Ch. 77

Kenji flicked his short blade, sending blood droplets spattering across the dirt. The Suna ninja at his feet had stopped twitching. He was about to turn and leave when he heard it.

Whoosh.

A kunai cut through the air behind him.

In the split second before impact, black iron sand erupted from the ground in front of him. The kunai struck the barrier and deflected away.

At the same moment, Kenji's form flickered and vanished.

He reappeared behind the ambush...
